初夏时节，波兰首都华沙的各个街角售卖着紫色和白色的丁香花以及灿烂盛放的粉红牡丹，空气中弥漫着迷人的芬芳。在这夏花绚烂摇曳的氛围中，6月1日，华沙莱佛士优若派斯基酒店Raffles Europejski Warsaw 在万众瞩目中盛大开幕。这座波兰标志性建筑经全面翻新后重新营业，将逾160年的历史和传承融入莱佛士酒店及度假酒店品牌的丰厚文化底蕴中，成为继巴黎和伊斯坦布尔之后的第三个欧洲度假胜地，在此可享受无与伦比的莱佛士酒店标志性服务。
Amidst the heady fragrance of purple and white lilac and bouquets of blossoming pink peonies sold on every street corner of this sprawling capital during early summer, comes the highly anticipated opening of Raffles Europejski Warsaw on June 1st. Bringing over 160 years of history and heritage to the culturally rich Raffles Hotels & Resorts brand, this fully restored Polish icon joins Paris and Istanbul as the third European destination where the inimitable Raffles experience can be found.
向波兰的艺术复兴致敬
PAYING HOMAGE TO THE NATION’S ARTISTIC RENAISSANCE
这座新文艺复兴风格的宫殿式酒店可追溯至1857年，由Enrico Marconi建造，19世纪时，因作为欧洲酒店的尊贵典范（Grand Dame）而声名大噪，如今历时四年，历尽千辛万苦终于重拾其战前辉煌。鲜明的波兰特色、优雅的室内设计，搭配由扎切塔国家美术馆（Zachęta National Gallery of Art）前馆长Anda Rottenberg精心策划的优若派斯基酒店精选艺术系列，展示了现代和当代波兰的顶级艺术。优若派斯基酒店精选艺术系列（The Hotel Europejski Art Collection）囊括了由120多位艺术家创作的近500件艺术作品，其中包括波兰先锋派传奇艺术家Tadeusz Kantor，以及波兰当代艺术最重要的代表人物Wilhelm Sasnal、Monika Sosnowska、荣获特纳奖提名的Goshka Macuga。
Dating back to 1857, the neo-renaissance palace built by Enrico Marconi and renowned as a Grand Dame of European hotels during the 19th century, has been, over the last four years, painstakingly restored to its pre-war glory. Proudly Polish, the elegant interiors showcase the very best of modern and contemporary Polish art, with a carefully curated Hotel Europejski collection by Anda Rottenberg, a former Director of the Zachęta National Gallery of Art. The Hotel Europejski Art Collection consists of almost 500 artworks created by more than 120 artists, including the legend of Polish Avant-garde Tadeusz Kantor, and the most important representatives of contemporary Polish art such as Wilhelm Sasnal, Monika Sosnowska or Turner Prize nominee Goshka Macuga.
该酒店不仅代表了波兰的艺术造诣，还体现了波兰的精湛技艺，无论是灯具、木材精雕的床头板、镶木地板还是印刻在浴室灰色大理石墙上的华沙天际线景致，无一不彰显着波兰对莱佛士优若派斯基酒店的根本性影响。这座备受尊崇的酒店位于具有历史意义的皇家之路（Royal Route）上，地理位置优越，从宽敞优雅的客房可欣赏旧城区（Old Town）、总统府的风景，视线穿过这座城市最大的广场，还可以眺望到无名烈士墓（Tomb of the Unknown Soldier）那永不熄灭的火焰，以及后面绿树成荫的萨克森花园（Saxon Gardens）。
Not only art but also the skill of Polish craftsmanship is represented within the hotel, whether in the lighting, in the carved burl wood headboards, the parquetry floors or the Warsaw skyline etched into the grey marble bathroom walls, rooting Raffles Europejski firmly in Poland. This sense of place is emphasised by the venerated hotel’s location on the historic Royal Route, with views from spacious and elegant guestrooms onto the Old Town, the Presidential Palace and, across the city’s biggest square, to the eternal flame burning at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and the leafy Saxon Gardens behind.
酒店共有106间客房及套房，采用经典装修风格，装饰着黑橡木地板、当代波兰艺术品，配有图书角以及光滑大理石打造的浴室，浴室为装饰艺术风格，情调高雅。总统套房是该酒店熠熠闪耀的明珠，占地面积达293平方米，宏伟壮丽，内置19世纪的钢琴，提醒人们在其恢弘历史中的某个时期，总统套房曾经举办过钢琴独奏会和音乐会。
The 106 rooms and suites are classically stylish with blackened oak floors, contemporary Polish art, a corner library and sleek marble-clad bathrooms with Art Deco touches. But the jewel in the crown is the Presidential Suite, spread over a magnificent 293 square metres, and home to a 19th century piano, a reminder that this room was once host to recitals and piano concerts in another chapter of its rich history.
波兰精致奢华的全新至臻典范
A NEW EPITOME OF SOPHISTICATED LUXURY IN POLAND
2005年，优若派斯基酒店重归战前合法业主，酒店产权持有公司H.E.S.A.的代表Julien Barbotin-Larrieu如此阐述选择莱佛士作为酒店管理公司的原因：“莱佛士是文化传承与奢华酒店的代名词，它同样拥有悠久的历史，仅在优若派斯基酒店创立之后的三十年便开设了标志性的新加坡莱佛士酒店，有了莱佛士掌舵，我们有信心能够为华沙带来更高水准的奢华酒店服务，同时兼顾文化体验和舒适感受。我们的目标是提供一个真正意义上的理想场所，以前所未有的程度，让宾客沉浸在艺术、美食和历史之中，从而深入了解波兰内在的灵魂。”
The Hotel Europejski was returned to its rightful pre-war owners in 2005, and Julien Barbotin-Larrieu, representing the owning company, H.E.S.A., explained their choice of Raffles to manage the property: “With Raffles at the helm of the hotel, a brand synonymous with heritage and luxury, whose own illustrious history began just thirty years after the Europejski’s with the iconic Raffles Singapore, we feel confident about bringing a new level of luxury to Warsaw; one that is as much about the cultural experience as the comfort. Our aim is to provide a real sense of place, allowing guests to understand the soul of Poland by immersing themselves in the art, the gastronomy and the history which they will be surrounded with, on a level as yet unsurpassed in the capital.”
鉴于此，酒店将提供丰富的美味佳肴。优若派斯基烧烤餐厅（Europejski Grill）由备受赞誉的西班牙工作室Lázaro Rosa Violán设计，巧妙融合蓝色与白色，配色醒目大胆，供应现代波兰料理，可俯瞰胜利广场（Piłsudski Square）。品牌标志性长廊酒吧（Long Bar）灵感源自新加坡莱佛士酒店的酒吧，且得名于此，一个多世纪以前，新加坡司令鸡尾酒在此诞生。长廊酒吧位于酒店的中心位置，采用光滑的大理石台面柜台，供应各式创意鸡尾酒。雪茄吧（Humidor）作为这座城市最高档的休息室，拥有俱乐部式的真皮沙发、昏暗灯光和壁炉，为雪茄爱好者和高档烈酒鉴赏家提供了理想的休闲放松场所，而Lourse Warszawa Patisserie糕点店则以白色大理石和黄铜切边营造出优雅的氛围，长久以来，一直是享用各式精致糕点的绝妙之所。
With this in mind, the hotel will offer a variety of culinary options. Designed by acclaimed Spanish studio Lázaro Rosa Violán, the Europejski Grill, strikingly decorated in bold hues of blue and white, will serve modern Polish cuisine with a twist, overlooking Piłsudski Square. The Long Bar, a brand signature inspired by and named after the bar in Raffles Singapore where the Singapore Sling cocktail was invented over a century ago, is set at the heart of the hotel and will bring a new level of cocktails to the Warsaw scene from its sleek, marble-topped counter. The Humidor, the most exclusive lounge in the city, provides the perfect place for cigar lovers and connoisseurs of fine spirits with its club-like atmosphere of leather sofas, low lighting and a fireplace, whilst the Lourse Warszawa Patisserie, an elegant essay in white marble and brass trimming, is, as it famously was in previous times, the place to go for the cakes and pastries so loved in the city.
莱佛士素来将健康视为酒店体验的重中之重，因此，毫不意外，华沙莱佛士优若派斯基酒店拥有华沙规模数一数二的顶级水疗中心。这是远离都市喧嚣的宁静港湾，设有六间理疗室和全天开放的健身房，健身房内配备泰诺健™（Technogym™）设施和室内游泳池。正如全球所有的莱佛士水疗中心，这里同样注重整体身心健康，除了采用独家品牌Aromatherapy Associates和希思黎（Sisley）的定制护理服务之外，还在标志性水疗体验中融入了冥想环节，充分贯彻健康理念。
With Raffles renowned for placing wellness at the centre of the experience it offers, it comes as no surprise that the Raffles Spa will be one of the biggest and the best in Warsaw. A haven of tranquillity amidst the bustle of the city, it has six treatment rooms, a 24/7 gym, complete with Technogym™ and an upstream indoor swimming pool. Alongside bespoke treatments using exclusive brands Aromatherapy Associates and Sisley, the emphasis on holistic wellbeing, very much the DNA of Raffles spas worldwide, plays a key part in the spa experience with mindful meditation interwoven in the signature spa journeys.
雅高酒店集团奢华品牌部莱佛士品牌战略合作关系副总裁Jeannette Ho表示：“我很高兴能够开设华沙莱佛士优若派斯基酒店，打造华沙的地标性建筑，我们将带来享誉全球的高品质莱佛士服务，并供应一系列饕餮美食、会议设施和独具魅力的水疗中心。”
Jeannette Ho, Vice President, Raffles Brand & Strategic Partnerships, AccorHotels Luxury Brands, comments: “I am delighted to be opening the iconic Raffles Europejski Warsaw, such a landmark in this capital city, to which we will bring the legendary Raffles service, known for its benchmark standard across the globe, as well as a series of gastronomic delights, conference facilities and an impressive spa.”
